The Design Process REDESIGNING THE EMERGENCY AMBULANCE 15 A number of evaluation outcomes were specified to measure the success of this project: 1. A potential to achieve fewer healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs), measured by a reduction in contamination incidents during scenario-based testing. 2. Fewer adverse incidents and equipment failures, measured by a reduction in treatment time and mitigated clinical incidents during scenario-based testing. 3. Improved patient experience – measured by increased patient ratings. The team developed a three-dimensional computergenerated design, with visualisations of the production solution, a ‘Working Wall’, ‘fly through’ simulations and full-scale foam model, and used this in an exhibition of the first design iteration. Twenty ambulance staff and four patient representatives took part in this first stage of the co-design process, participating in simulated scenarios and walk-through evaluations. Clear evidence exists that simulated scenarios can provide a suitable environment for measuring performance in the dynamic surroundings of pre-hospital emergency care. The aim was to investigate the impact of different ambulance environments on the clinical performance of current ambulance staff. The design team examined how staff undertook the assessment and treatment of two clinical presentations in two environments – an existing frontline London Ambulance Service vehicle, and the ‘new’ prototyped ambulance interior at the Royal College of Art.
